[2013 Sweden] Insight:
Evidence grows for narcolepsy link to GSK swine flu shot Emelie Olsson
falls asleep as she watches television in her apartment in Stockholm, January
17, 2013. Emelie is one of around 800 children in Sweden and elsewhere in Europe
who developed narcolepsy, an incurable sleep disorder, after being immunised in
2009 with the Swine Flu vaccine. She is plagued by hallucinations and
nightmares. When she wakes up, she's often paralyzed, unable to breathe properly
or call for help. During the day she can barely stay awake, and often misses
school or having fun with friends. She is only 14, but at times she has wondered
if her life is worth living.

Narcolepsy traced to specific vaccine batches A new
Swedish study shows that all Swedes who developed narcolepsy from the swine flu
vaccine Pandemrix received the vaccine from 12 of the 35 batches, despite the
Swedish Medical Products Agency’s previous claim that no such connection exists.
.....Over 220 Swedes, most of them children, developed narcolepsy as a side
effect from the Swine flu vaccine Pandemrix,

[2011 March] A Swedish
registry based cohort study provides strengthened evidence of an association
between vaccination with Pandemrix and narcolepsy in children and adolescents
Results from a Swedish registry based cohort study indicate a 4-fold increased
risk of narcolepsy in children and adolescents below the age of 20 vaccinated
with Pandemrix (GlaxoSmithKline), compared to children of the same age that were
not vaccinated. The results are in line with those of a similar Finish registry
study. The Finnish study showed a nine-fold increased risk for narcolepsy in
adolescents and children 19 years old and younger. When the Finnish study
results had been presented, and considering that the risk of getting ill with
H1N1 influenza at present is very small, the MPA concluded that vaccination of
children and adolescents with Pandemrix for the time being should not be
recommended.
